The facts are staggering; the suicide rate for Indigenous peoples is five to seven times higher than it is for other Canadians. iHope will shine a light on life promotion. Let’s contribute to the shared message of hope on November 17th, 2016 at the historic Vogue Theater in Vancouver.

Music can be healing, and music will bring our nations together in celebration. Join us for this musical event! The iHope Benefit Concert 2016 hosted by Carla Robinson will feature international Indigenous performers including Buffy Sainte-Marie, Susan Aglukark and Andrea Menard, with special performances by Coastal Wolfpack and Murray Porter.

This event is produced by NationTalk, with encouragement and input from the Canadian Foundation for Healthcare Improvement, the First Nations Health Managers Association, and the Thunderbird Partnership Foundation. Any proceeds after costs will be donated to the Thunderbird Partnership Foundation, Canada’s premiere Indigenous mental health organization.

Locally owned and operated the Vogue Theatre is one of the last remaining theatres from the famed “Theatre Row”. Located in the heart of downtown Vancouver on Granville Street, the Vogue is a graceful reminder of the Vancouver of old.

More than seventy years later, the Vogue annually hosts upwards of 200 events and continues to be one of Canada’s premier venues for live music, cinema and corporate and community events.

Our goal is to give Vancouver a theatre to be proud of. We aim to make entertainment more accessible to a broader audience. With a commitment to good old fashion hospitality, your experience at the Vogue will be 1st class. From the moment you purchase your ticket to the end of the show, our vision is unpretentious, personable, five star service.
